Improvement in oilers



JOHN KING, OF ANSONIA, CONNECTICUT.

IMPROVEMENT IN olLERs.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 56,233., dated July 10, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, JOHN KING, of Ansonia, New Haven county, State ot' Connecticut, have invented a new and Improved Oiler 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which. will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the `accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

The present invention relates to a new and improved oiler to be used for the oilin g of machinery, the construction and arrangement of which is such that oil can be forced through the nozzle ot' the same at whatever height it may be desired to use it, thus enabling such portions of machinery as are at heights above being reached with the common and ordinary oilers without the use of a step-ladder or other similar device to be oiled with the utmost ease and with no trouble or labor, the construction ot' the implement also enabling the oil to be l'orced out ot' it in any position, as will be obvious from the following` detail description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying plate of drawings, in which the iigure is a central section through theoiler, taken in the direction of its length.

A in the drawing represents a cylindricalshaped vessel or receiver closed at both ends, and secured at one end in any proper manner to a handle, B, made of wood or any other suitable material and of any desired and convenient length. In this vessel A the oil is placed through an opening, C, in its upper end or head having a screw cap or plug, D, for

closing the same.

E is another cylinder or tube placed within the oil-vessel and extending in the direction of its length, the lower end of which tube E is perforated, and has a small pipe, F, connected with it, passing upward outside of the vessel A, with its upper end bent over and made of a conical or tapering shape, coming to a point, or nearly so, so as to form a small nozzle, G, through which to discharge the oil.

In the tube E is arranged a plunger' or piston, H, so as to play or move air-tight, which plunger has a rod, I, secured to its upper end,

tion the plunger is made to descend withinits tube E, forcing the oil from the same., through the apertures in its lower end, back into the main oilw'essel, and then, after passing such apertures, the oil remaining in it and the connecting-pipe E up and through and out of the nozzle end of the same, when, releasing the lever, the plunger is drawn back again by means ot' a spiral spring, O, arranged within the tube E, and suitably connected with it and the plunger to accomplish the same, thus putting the plunger in proper position for again being brought to bear upon the oil t'or the forcing of it out through the nozzle G, the oil, if any, above the plunger ilowing back into the oil-vessel through an aperture, d, in the upper end of the plunger-tube E.

From the above description ot' my improved` oiler it is plainly apparent that it is susceptible of being used where the ordinary oiler cannot be used,.and the oilercan be operated in any position within convenient reach.

l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the oil-vessel A, tube E, having plunger or piston H, and dischargespout F, when said plunger is connected to a lever, M, or its equivalent, and the whole together is constructed and arranged so as to operate substantially in the manner described, and for the purpose specified.
